    Scrubbed the loo and basin before I got in the shower and damp dusted the bathroom skirtings. I've started wiping the tiles with a microfibre cloth after showering to dry most of the water off and it's working well, they're still shining almost a week after I bleached them. Takes two minutes and allows me to drip dry a bit before towelling off too.

    Face on, hair gelled and scrunched, just got to chuck my clothes on and we're outta here!

    Pinch and punch a white rabbit :p

    Morning all.. Pixie fed at 8:30 and is still snoozing so I took advantage and went to shop... picked up prescription and parcel, bought bobbles and mouthwash, got wool for Spams fish hat and buttons for Squeaks school cardys, and made Moomin an opticians appointment and took Mimi's and OH's glasses in to be fixed. I took Dot and she screeched the entire time we were out.. we got strawberries on the way home and she had half a punnet before we got to the house!

    you squeezed a lot in that trip pigpen.

    ive managed to cull a shabby fitted sheet. found a lovely duvet and curtain set thats now surplus so DD1 can have that if she doesnt fancy it the CS can have it. got 2 double fitted sheets that DD2 can have or CS. need to get the youngest to decide if he still wants his cartoon duvet covers or if they are going. towels are all now tidy and culled a few bits of packaging and OOD stuff from first aid and toiletries shelves.

    I've let our house descend into C.H.A.O.S. again. The washing pile is overflowing, the ironing mountain is the same and there is clutter everywhere. I really need to get back on the flylady wagon as I know it works.

    Tonight's mission for the living room and hall is to tidy the coats and shoe rack and in the living room to clear the mantlepiece and throw out the dead flowers...it's like Morticia Adams lives at our house at the moment! Once little one is in bed I must do some ironing instead of slumping on the sofa.

    Go for it!:T I managed it (haven't smoked since May 2002) so I know you can too.:o
    head pointed out the boys that we were in had aim stickers (flys footballs etc) in the pans to reduce mess and add a bit of fun. one of the govs then asked what stickers the girls had in theirs:rotfl:
    Does anyone else have a DH/OH who needs an aim sticker when they've consumed a couple of glasses of cider?:eek:

    One WM load done, dogs suitably exercised and brushed, just about to hit the WiiFit, if Bailey will let me - he usually dumps his toys on the balance board while I'm trying to use it.:rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    need to get the youngest to decide if he still wants his cartoon duvet covers or if they are going.

    I still have my forever friends bedset from about 16 years ago! I did have the lampshade too but not sure if that will have disappeared to a CS or if I'll randomly find it in a box when we unpack! That's going in the single room if we put a bed in it for my nephew, he's too young to notice it's a girls set :rotfl:

    Afternoon all!
    6 sleeps to go :jI now need to stop myself packing anything more, think I got carried away with myself when DBF couldn't find a plastic tub for his lunch to go to work as I'd packed them all! haha luckily in an open box that was still being kept in the kitchen. Have done the same in the bathroom and all the non daily toiletries are also packed. The living room looks like a cardboard box/Christmas decoration graveyard :eek:
    Luckily tonight I'm decluttering some me-time by getting my nails done after paid stuff and can work on my fly list after. Tomorrow I'm thinking of attending teh AGM of the local Village Association where we're moving to. Not having munchkins it sounds like a good way to integrate into the area as I guess others do this by their kids making friends at school.
    DBF wants to take me on a date on Friday, I have tried to explain the limited time left to get moved but he's been a bit oblivious to the whole thing so put a pouty face on when I said maybe not.

    Will update list later tonight once I've had time to do something!
    Hugs and woohoo's where required
